Well this was the show I had intended on debuting the truck at

Still having alternator issues and the tank needs to be sealed, that coupled with the very limited drive time I decided not to risk it, dad would have been very stressed out if I attempted the run... OH well next year...

Much larger turn out this year...

This was kinda cool, in the swap meet sign said it was built in 54.. different, Chevy body with a ford flat head..

they wanted 12.5K for it though..


As I mentioned much larger turn out.. people were backed up trying to get in...


Different.. engine was in the bed..


Chop anyone?
 


I have never really understood when you pad the running boards.. or the wheel wells.. [S




Someone want to clue me in on what this all about?
 


Cool interior but the photo came out kinda poorly as the windows were up



This was the ride for the interior above


Heres a packard.. pre ZZrodder
 


This didnt really show up in the pictures..but this clear was LOADED with metal flake.. cool effect





 




I was keeping my eye out to see how many guys were running steering dampners..


 
This thing drew a massive crowed.. lots of work.. the rims were machined from a solid piece.. you could still see the machining lines up close





This was the only duallie i saw.. he was in the friends section.. unfinished.. the gas tank was sitting in the interior.. proportions are off for my liking..

well thats all I got.. there were hundereds of cars.. weather still wasnt good but 100X better than last year where it down poured and then sleeted
 
Thanks for the pics of some neat rides. Ya know, I think a person can get more creative with a bike than with a car or truck.
 
Isn't that front and back mirror for looking at the stop lights when you have a visor? [P

Sounds plausible. I was thinking it's for passing, off of a RHD car (see similar ones in newer RHD cars in North America)? Your explanation makes more sense.

While we're talking about weird mirrors, what's with the mirror, hinge, and door handle relation on this? I assume the doors are now suicide, but there's a whole lot of weirdness going on here.
